Patrícia can't leave home - help build a ramp
Materials are donated. We need two carpenters and a helper for a weekend in Ribeirão Preto.

Patrícia has used a wheelchair since 2023, and the house has three steps at the front door and no ramp. At the moment Patrícia can only go outside when two neighbors are available to lift the chair.
The materials (treated timber, screws and non-slip surface) have been donated by a local lumberyard. We need a carpenter or two to measure, cut and build, plus a helper or two.
The ramp has to meet the accessibility guideline for gradient, which is why a person with building experience is important. We estimate ten hours of work.
Tools are welcome - saws, drills, spirit levels. We'll provide refreshments, and Patrícia's family will cook lunch for the team.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Maurício. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Ribeirão Preto.
Keep going, Maurício. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
